Background
The urgency to share well substantiated evidence on the effectiveness of policy interventions increases when policymakers worldwide share the same goals. The Covid 19 Crisis clearly created such an urgency; the underlying ambitions are more structural. In the past decade, momentum has been created by:
In all these processes we see researchers, both from academia and from governmental research bodies, trying to improve policymaking with rigorous evidence. This also takes place within the World Bank, the EU and the UN. This seminar will investigate how we can transfer and apply such evidence, developed in a research environment, into a policy environment.
The emergence of a profession?
The need to substantiate governmental decision making with evidence is as old as governments exist. What is new, is the emergence of intermediaries who translate, disseminate or apply research results in a public environment. The experts include, but may not be limited to:
Issues to treat
Access to new knowledge for policymakers
Creating new policy knowledge
Translating knowledge to policy conclusions
Translating evidence to politics and the public
